    2019 Summer Graduate Fellowships Writing Institute

    Students of various disciplines work on their writing individually and in small groups, participate in writing-related workshops, attend presentations on writing-related topics, and receive individual tutoring. This program helps graduate students jump start fellowship applications. This year we have added a new component to the institute where we will be addressing professional development topics that focus on the graduate student's holistic development believing that the very foundation of a solid fellowship application starts with a positive training experience.



    Dates: June 4th, 6th, 11th and 13th
    Times: Tuesdays and Thursdays (9am-noon)
    Location: TBA

    Registration Deadline:  MAY 3rd, 2019
